2014 Scania P410 12.7L Diesel · ON10 ADS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative upkeep. The most recent test on June 13 2025 at 169,194 miles passed despite a defect regarding a worn second steer drop arm. This follows a period of clean records in 2024 and 2022, indicating that while the vehicle remains operational, mechanical components related to steering are beginning to show signs of age-related fatigue and wear from use. At 12 years old, the Scania has averaged approximately 14,100 miles per year, which represents significant usage for a heavy-duty vehicle. The data shows a surge in activity between November 2022 and June 2025, where the vehicle covered over 32,000 miles in under three years. This rapid accumulation of mileage explains the transition from the clean test in 2024 to the steering failure recently, as high-mileage operation places consistent stress on the drivetrain, braking, and suspension systems. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the pneumatic and hydraulic systems. The failure in November 2022 due to a leaking brake chamber and faulty air actuators suggests a potential vulnerability in the air-brake system integrity. Additionally, the 2021 advisory regarding an oil leak on the nearside hydraulic controls should be verified to ensure this has not developed into a significant leak. Given the recently worn drop arm, a thorough check of the entire steering geometry and suspension bushes is necessary to ensure no further structural or mechanical failures are imminent.
